1 Models SSPG14 & SSPE14 Pasta Water Regulator Adjustment Technical Service Installation & Set Up Instructions Please read complete instructions prior to starting. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE This installation should be performed by a qualified service agency in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, property damage, personal injury or loss of life may result. The qualified service agency is responsible for the proper installation of this assembly. This installation is not proper and complete until the operation of the appliance is checked as specified in the manufacturer's instructions. The power supply to the appliance MUST be disconnected before performing this procedure. Ensure that the gas supply to this appliance is turned off before performing this procedure. Use only parts supplied with the appliance. Use of any parts other than those supplied will void the warranty and could cause unsafe conditions or improper operation of your appliance. Drain the tank and ensure that appliance has cooled to room temperature before performing this installation. DO NOT work on a hot appliance or an appliance containing hot cooking medium; serious personal injury may occur. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without depending on the gas line connection. If any restraining devices are disconnected during this procedure, ensure that they are reconnected before putting the appliance into service. Failure to do so could result in a dangerous and unsafe condition. 1 L Rev 0, November 2011

2 NOTE: If you have any questions about this procedure please call Pitco at (603) and ask for the Technical Service department. Follow these steps to adjust the water regulation system to the models shown. This procedure should be performed by an Authorized Service Agency. IMPORTANT! Some parts or accessories may need to be removed to perform this procedure. When completed, all parts and accessories must be reinstalled onto the appliance. 2 L Rev 0, November 2011

3 Tools Recomended for this Adjustment Tool Legend 1)- 7/16", 13/16", 3/4" & 7/8" Assorted Wrenches 2)- Flatblade Screwdriver 3)- 1/2 Gal. Pitcher, Or Larger 4)- Stopwatch Parts List A)- 1/2" or 3/8" NPT water connection B)- Needle Valve C) PSI Regulator D) PSI Pressure Gauge Regulator Assembly pictured above is located inside of the cabinet. The water connection, (A), is located at the rear of the cabinet. Models with 2 or more units may have a manifold assembly installed. 3 L Rev 0, November 2011

4 1 Water Regulator Adjustment IMPORTANT- When installing multiple Units, Use the assembly packed with the appliance to keep mating parts together. Make the Hot water connection for the cooker and then follow the steps to adjust the water flow at the mixing valve. The flow will be full on for the fill knob, and 1/2 Gal. per minute on the cook reheat knob. 2 The components, Needle Valve (B), Regulator (C), and Pressure Gauge (D), are located just inside the rear bottom brace of the unit. Sufficient water line will be needed to access the components and check the water flow as the unit will need to be pulled away out from the normal operating position. The needle valve, (B), should have been preset at the factory but if adjustment is required follow the additional steps in these instructions, or contact the factory. 4 L Rev 0, November 2011

5 3 Prior to turning on the water supply, ensure that both control knobs on the mixing valve are in the closed position, and the regulator is set to No Flow. To close the mixing valve, turn both knobs CW until they stop. To set the regulator to No flow, loosen the locknut, (C2), and do not retighten at this time. Turn the adjustment screw, (C1), CCW to release pressure on the regulator spring, Do not allow the screw to come completely out of the regulator. 4 Open the pressure gauge vent, (D1), and turn on the water supply to the appliance to set the water pressure to 10 PSI. To set the water pressure, turn the adjustment screw,(c1), on the regulator CW until the indicator on the gauge is pointing to 10. Check for any water leaks and repair as needed prior to continuing. The flow of the Cook/Reheat water line needs to be set to 1/2 Gal./Min. at this time. Ensure the tank drain is closed, then fully open the Cook/Reheat knob by turning it CCW until it stops. Water should be flowing into the tank, and the pressure reading on the gauge should drop to about 6 PSI. 5 5 L Rev 0, November 2011

6 6 7 With the water flowing, adjust the regulator screw, (C1), until the pressure is 6 PSI on the pressure gauge. Then use the graduated pitcher to measure 1/2 gal. of water into the tank. The allowable time to measure the 1/2 gal. of water is secs. If the required flow is not achieved in this time frame adjust the regulator +/- 1 PSI as needed and recheck until the flow is correct. Once the flow is correct, retighten the locknut, (C2), on the regulator. Additional Step if required NOTE: If the needle valve requires adjustment it is important to maintain the regulator pressure setting of 6 PSI +/- 1 PSI while water is flowing. If you cannot get the required flow with adjusting the regulator +/- 1 PSI, you can adjust the factory preset needle valve, (B). Adjust the needle valve by loosening the locknut, (B2), and turning the valve knob, (B1), CW to decrease flow, or CCW to increase flow. Adjust the needle valve no more than a 1/4 turn at a time. Measure the flow after each adjustment. Tighten locknut after adjustment is completed. N o t e : When the desired water flow is achieved, reinstall any parts that were removed during the procedure and finish installing the appliance in accordance with the operations and service manuals. 6 L Rev 0, November 2011
